Rivetking 18N62RRD3P Solid Rivet 3/16 in Stainless Steel

Product Description

The RIVETKING 18N62RRD3P is a round-head solid rivet designed for permanent mechanical fastening in structural and general fabrication applications. Machined from 18-8 stainless steel with an uncoated finish, this rivet measures 3/16 inches in body diameter and 5/8 inches in length under the head. Solid rivets require a bucking bar and hammer or rivet gun to set, forming a tight, vibration-resistant joint. The 18-8 stainless alloy provides good corrosion resistance and moderate strength, making it a dependable choice for environments where rust resistance is a priority.

This solid rivet is suited for use in sheet metal assemblies, HVAC duct work, electrical enclosures, marine hardware, and light structural fabrication. Trades including HVAC technicians, electricians, and sheet metal workers will encounter this fastener when assembling panels, brackets, or equipment frames that require a permanent, non-removable joint. The round head profile distributes clamping load evenly across the material surface and sits flush-proud without sharp edges.

Key Features

• 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in wet or outdoor environments
• Uncoated finish suitable for applications where bare metal contact is acceptable or additional coating will be applied
• 3/16 inch body diameter fits standard 3/16 inch drilled or punched clearance holes
• 5/8 inch length under head accommodates typical multi-layer sheet metal stack-ups
• Round head profile distributes load and resists pull-through
• Does not meet military specifications - rated for commercial and industrial use

Compatibility

Designed as a standard commercial solid rivet for use in sheet metal, fabrication, and general mechanical assembly applications requiring a 3/16 inch diameter permanent fastener.

Installation Notes

Solid rivets are installed by licensed tradespeople and experienced fabricators using a rivet hammer or pneumatic rivet gun paired with a bucking bar. Always drill or punch the clearance hole to the correct diameter before insertion. Ensure all power is removed from any live panel or equipment before beginning fastening work inside electrical or HVAC enclosures. Do not attempt to set solid rivets without proper backing support, as unsupported setting can distort the material.
